first of all
second of all yal'l wuz talkin some other language, ya'll wuzn't sayin nikka like its used today like how nikkaz from tha south start using towards each other
so again its an amerikkkan word
ya'll wuz over there in tha carribean talkin french like peppy le pew, comin over here talkin bout "whats up my nikka?"
The word "nikka" is derived from the word "******" which is derived from the Spanish word negro, which came from blablabla.
The point is, the word you use is a derivative of a word that was not American to begin with. So it's pointless to say it's an American word, when really it's just an adaptation of a word that existed overseas before it ever saw the Americas.
You can't tell us not to use the word "nikka", since the word was originally used to reclaim the power and pride we have lost as African people. We're all black (or at least, I THINK we're black ) so we would all be called ****** by the racist white man of a few centuries ago. After all, it's not like there's really any visible difference between AAs and West Indians, or even Africans for that matter. WE'RE THE SAME PEOPLE.
This is such a pointless discussion..
Oh well.. I don't really even use the word much in real life anyways. Being a Canadian, rest assured that I'm surrounded by way too many white people on a daily basis to find any comfort in using it. I also don't think you'd be man enough to tell immigrants from the Caribbean to stop using it IRL.
At the end of the day we can agree to disagree. If nikkas wanna be called nikkas and call people nikkas, let them do it. If not, to each his own. Just don't say we don't all share the same history that would give us the right to say it though
